Me, Adventurer! - Undoubled Skills Are Flat Magic (WEB Version)
Episode 64: I also have the right to choose my neck to hunt
The next day at noon, the salt was delivered in full. It was a hassle to wait for the barrels to gather, so I scraped the jar out of the rock, filled it with salt, and delivered it in advance, just like the salt bin. I don't like waiting from Kansai people.
"What is this white salt...
Mr. Imelda is surprised to see the salt in the stone clay. Did that taste bad? As far as I can taste it, it usually tasted like salt. It also has a slightly mellow natural salt appearance because of the intersection of the leaves.
Mr. Imelda puts a pinch of salt in the stone claw on his palm and licks it with his tongue tip.
"Slightly sweet but no clutter... that's pretty fine salt. The skin texture is also quite fine. How the hell am I supposed to get salt like this...
"Really. The salt that was made in our village is totally gone. It's like snow to talk about. Compared to this, Senna's salt is mud.
Kikka is surprised too. Is that so weird? As far as I'm concerned, it's salt I'm used to seeing.
"Is there a problem? Request failed?"
Your first request failed? If so, it's a bit concave. I've done a lot of good work this time. I wonder what went wrong?
"No... there's no problem with quantity or quality. I'm just surprised it was of considerably higher quality than expected.
"Heh, this is so fine.
"Um. Honestly, I've never seen so much salt. It would be a sacrifice to the royal family that I hear rumors about.
Well, that much. I simply evaporated the sea water.
Kikka told me that the salt in this world is dominated by algae salt. Algae salt is made by marinating and drying the seaweed in seawater and simmering out its seaweed with increased salt concentrations. Because of the way it's made, it really comes with the taste and color of seaweed. Then there's no reason to be surprised by my salt.
"Plus this stone jar and lid. I've never seen a stone shaped like this before. The lid rubs together beautifully. That's all you'll get for sale.
I made a template out of planar magic and scraped it to match. Uniform standards, basic to mass production. Sharpening is also flat magic for a moment, and it hasn't taken 10 seconds a piece.
"Hmm. But this time, it's fine to say that the stone jar will also be included in the request.
"Is that true!? That helps. There seems to be a lot of use for reuse.
Even if they return it, they'll have trouble putting it away. The garden will be filled with jars. The empty salt vault is now sunk in the sea at the end of the garden because it was in the way. You can pull it up if you need it again.
◇
Having received the requisition completion process and five large coins of reward, I decided to carry out the plan that I had previously explored.
That's the plan: 'Drink milk in the Guild Tavern'.
◇
"Hih! Neck hunting rat!?
Suddenly escaped by a bartending, mature man. The adventurers who were in the tunnel are also taking their seats simultaneously and running backwards to the wall. What the hell.
"Hey, why are neck hunting rats coming to the tavern! I thought you weren't coming this way because you're just a kid!?
"Idiot, you have a voice! They'll hunt Musko (...) 's neck!
Oh my god!? I don't need a turtle neck like that!
I almost accidentally screamed at the conversation I heard. Apparently, I'm quite afraid.
"Oh, um... excuse me earlier. What can I get you?
The fleeing elderly man came back surprised and asked for an order. Oddly enough, I pull back and worry about my inner crotch. We're hunting.
Even though his moustache and stroked head are dandy, it's all ruined.
"... milk.
I really wanted to say bourbon, but at this rate, I stopped because it's really going to come out. I'm a boy, so let's have a big drink of milk.
No, is there any bourbon in the first place? There are only three to four types of ceramic wine bottles lined up behind bars that are only a few. For each type, it says "potato", "wheat", etc. Isn't it the only liquor you've simply fermented?
"Also, I'm sorry, we didn't handle milk here...
"What, no milk?
"Hih!? Sorry, sorry!!
Barten, apologizing, ran off like a devil from the back hand. Fast. If nothing else, don't ask for another soft drink. Something's freaking you out, me.
"What the hell, that attitude!
"You don't have that one. Not as a merchant.
Looks like Cristella and the others are coming to mind. I certainly don't have that attitude. No... well, what the hell is going on?
"Haha, you hated me, Beat.
Anna was the one who said that and spoke up. Good, there was someone decent to talk to.
"Anna. Did I do something? Why are you so scared?
"There's nothing wrong with you. We're just freaking out more than we need to.
"... why?
"Why, you've decided that.
When I asked, Anna answered me in a frightened manner.
First, the goblin annihilation on the day we arrived in the city. Looks like I made a pretty strong impact on the city's adventurers.
We destroyed almost all the demons that we had to protect. The adventurers of this city could understand that by chance it was lucky and could not be cleaned up. It's done.
But if that was all you would still have had to call yourself a 'strong adventurer'. Some people would have convinced me that the secret of "Whirlwind" Dantes.
Then just a few days later, this time it devastated the bandits. There was nothing wrong with that in itself, but it seemed bad that all the bandits captured had been rendered irreversible as men. In a way, it's worse than getting killed. That's what they do without one exception, so as the same man, it's nothing but fear.
The rating of 'a ruthless and brutal child who is not only strong, but does not condone a piece of pity on those who face his teeth,' came with him in this one, he said.
What's that, horrible?
And it's the wasting Big Joe. He said he was no longer the object of fear through reverence and awe because he had defeated the living legend that had afflicted this city for so many years, alone, and with only one hassle, on top of being intact. As the neck hunting rat alias suggests, Mr. Joe's neck was dropped, and he applauded it. In other words, he turned it into a living legend instead of Mr. Joe. You're a sneaky god.
A child with very powerful powers, ruthless outrageous and whimsical. They say that's my rating in this city right now. It's too bad, but if that's the case, I don't know how to react. I guess it's like a late century champion. Leaving a young child to die, he said, 'No remorse!' That self chew who said and finished. Sure is the type you don't want to come near.
"Well, that's why. I don't know how I can do this right away. I just have to put some time aside.
"Hmm... I'm not convinced, but I'm convinced. Thank you, Anna.
Understood. Surely this seems like it can only be solved in time.
Looking back, Kristella and Kikka seemed convinced, and they were sneering. Luca is the only one as usual with Nico. And Woo looking up at me at my feet.
Rough hearts are healed. I'm so glad Woo is here.
"We know all about you. I've always been helped, and I'd love to if it helped. You can always count on me for anything but battle.
Having said that, Anna walked to the reception counter, waving her hand behind her back. It feels refreshing as always. I'm the sister of a neighbor I can count on.
Drinking milk is another time. We'll come back when most of them are cold.

"... I want you to teach me how to study.
Daisy learned to manipulate magic.
When we returned to the hall, we resumed our magic manipulation training, which could not be done by bringing in salt. I'd like to make an expedition to the back of the woods as soon as possible.
Daisy quickly recognized her magic build-up and, awkwardly, succeeded in manipulating it. That's a pretty good pace. Wouldn't it be the fastest other than Cristella or Real Cheat Mom and Dad who could have used magic from the start?
So, when I asked him what he would do with the reward he had previously promised, it was the word he returned.
You mean you want to go to school?
When asked so, Daisy shook her head sideways with a pull.
"... asked the chief. Young people know better than school teachers. Young.
"To? Really?
Ask Kristera beside you. Although I did talk a lot during my stay in the village and while we were traveling together.
"You're right! Why grass grows, why it rains, why things fall down. I couldn't even tell you that at Wang Du's school! I had goosebumps when I heard about the food chain! So much so that I felt the will of a great God to live in this world!
Well, I don't know what God wants. What I told Cristella is all about middle school at best. When things are treated like that, the level of education in this country is known. Sure, I might as well teach you than go to school.
"... I can't write or calculate. But I want to help younger.
What health! Would there be a man who could ask such a beautiful girl to 'help you' and say no! No, he's not here! Counterwords! I'll tell you this later too!
"Okay. If it's okay with me, I can teach you between jobs.
"... young, thank you.
Daisy was so cute to smile and thank you. The thinness of the lines goes hand in hand, as if it were a lady in a deep window. I was born and raised a slave, though. I guess pity has nothing to do with birth.
"Mia! Yi Yi Yi! Teach me how to study, too! You know exactly how much salt you can buy and how many you can!
"We want to study too. Reading, writing and calculations were planted in Otton and Okan, but otherwise refreshing.
"Right. I'd like to know a lot more, too. So, from now on, after training in magic manipulation, do you want to devote a little time to a study group?
Cristella proposes to Anya and Kikka's request. Study group, not bad.
By the time I win the aristocracy, we'll all be free from slavery, and knowledge will be useful for our independence afterwards. Don't tell me the art helps you.
"I get it. Then let's go with that tomorrow. For that matter, the afternoon combat training will be thicker. Is that all right with Daisy?
When I asked, Daisy nodded small and cocky. And he leaned into my ear,
"... I was really young and I was good together.
and whispered away. Daisy at the time of her departure, I don't think she was 10, was a bit of an onna face. It's a secret that I've been a little dodgy unconsciously.
No, it's not a case! I'm seven, too!
